To a European, money means power, the freedom to do as he likes, which also means that, consciously or unconsciously, he says: “I want to have as much money as possible myself and others to have as little money as possible.”
In the United States, wealth was also acquired by stealing, but the real exploited victim was not a human being but poor Mother Earth and her creatures who were ruthlessly plundered. It is true that the Indians were expropriated or exterminated, but this was not, as it has always been in Europe, a matter of the conqueror seizing the wealth of the conquered, for the Indian had never realized the potential riches of his country. It is also true that, in the Southern states, men lived on the labor of slaves, but slave labor did not make them fortunes; what made slavery in the South all the more inexcusable was that, in addition to being morally wicked, it didn’t even pay off handsomely.
Thanks to the natural resources of the country, every American, until quite recently, could reasonably look forward to making more money than his father, so that, if he made less, the fault must be his; he was either lazy or inefficient. What an American values, therefore, is not the possession of money as such, but his power to make it as proof of his manhood; once he has proved himself by making it, it has served its function and can be lost or given away. In no society in history have rich men given away so large a part of their fortunes. A poor American feels guilty at being poor, but less guilty than an American renter who had inherited wealth but is doing nothing to increase it; what can the latter do but take to drink and psychoanalysis?

Những gì một người Mỹ giá trị, do đó, không phải là sở hữu số tiền như vậy, nhưng quyền lực của mình để làm cho nó như là bằng chứng của nhân loại của mình; một khi ông đã chứng tỏ mình bằng cách làm cho nó, nó đã phục vụ chức năng của nó và có thể được bị mất hoặc cho đi. Trong xã hội không có trong lịch sử có người đàn ông giàu cho đi như vậy một phần lớn tài sản của họ. Một người Mỹ nghèo cảm thấy có tội tại đang được người nghèo, nhưng phạm tội ít hơn một người thuê người Mỹ, những người đã thừa hưởng sự giàu có, nhưng là không làm gì để tăng nó; những gì có thể sau này làm nhưng hãy để uống và phân tâm học?
